Ranalli's Pizza Bar - West Loop, Chicago — Fulton Market italian that sets the standard. The atmosphere is half the draw here. The bartender knows what they're doing. Nikhil D'Mello: "The cheese curds were everything you'd expect - crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside"

“Ambiance: it’s a American spot with tv of sports going on, very loud crowds, has a very modern style Location accommodation: This place has a lot of seating including outdoors, and also has a bar”
I asked if the Ranali's special was the same thing or similar and the receptionist yelled into the phone no.
We tried to come on Tuesday at 530PM for a quick dinner and beer before the Blackhawks game.

“All I can say is WOW.”
All I can say is WOW! We came here for a Bears game and the atmosphere was iconic. We had so much fun. Everyone gets very lively and involved if there is a game on. There are 2 bars and TVs everywhere. If you want to watch the game, you should get there early as it got packed very quickly. Even though there was lots of people the wait time for food was not long, and the service didn’t disappoint. They are known for their pizza and wings, but other great options as well like the 4C smashburger which was cooked perfectly.

“Ranalli's is a popular sports bar in the heart of West Loop.”
Ranalli's is a popular sports bar in the heart of West Loop. It's a go-to spot for locals especially during game days. They also have a complimentary shuttle service to and from United Center which is about ten minutes down the street - perfect for pregaming Bulls and Blackhawks games! We decided to catch the Lions vs. Bucs divisional round game and try their renowned pizza. We immediately felt the excitement in the air. The place was packed and there were TVs broadcasting the game from every angle. Starting off with appetizers, we ordered the fried cheese curds and bruschetta. The cheese curds were everything you'd expect - crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and served with marinara and ranch for dipping. They were a hit - 5 out of 5, would get again. The bruschetta, topped with fresh vine tomatoes, provided a nice contrast to the cheesy indulgence of the curds, though I wouldn't necessarily get it again - 4 out of 5. For our mains, we went with the Hot Honey Soppressata Pizza. It was a flavor explosion - the spicy soppressata paired perfectly with the sweetness of the hot honey, and the dollops of whipped ricotta added a creamy finish. It was so good, we gave it a 5 out of 5. The only downside was that our leftovers didn't heat up well. I'm an expert at reheating leftover pizzas, so I was disappointed when I tried to eat my leftovers, but it was too dry. The staff at Ranalli's were attentive and friendly, ensuring our glasses were always full. It's definitely a hotspot during game days, so making a reservation in advance is a smart move. We will be returning to watch more games and indulge in cheese curds, beer, and pizza!

Was recently in Chicago for some concerts and went to Ranalli’s our first night in town. It was awesome. The atmosphere was great and the food was even better. We had the Hot Honey Soppressata and, WOW! So good. This was so good and we had such a great time we went back a couple days later. Highly recommend stopping in.

“I really enjoyed it.”
I really enjoyed it. It’s also placed well in the city, right between the main train station and United Center. The meal was served in a timely manner and it also tasted well. I have a sweet tooth, but the cookie is for 2 people actually. The price was also appropriate for the quality.

“Yolanda was our server.”
Yolanda was our server. She has excellent customer service skills and really took care of us throughout the football games. Made our College Gameday perfect. Great cocktails and beer selection. Fries were the best cut like pom fritz with several dipping sauces. Outstanding layout with natural light great seating options and super clean.

“Food: I got the hot honey soppressata pizza with pepperoni.”
Food: I got the hot honey soppressata pizza with pepperoni. It was thin crust and had a great blend of sweet, salty and cream from the whipped ricotta. A 12” can Feed probably 2 people depending on appetite. It did satisfied the craving after a long day. The tators were also really good, it had some kind of seasoning which made it taste better without ketchup Service: We walked in before it got busy and so we got to sit wherever. Our sever was okay, She made sure we had everything but the food was taking some time like perhaps 45 min and this was before people started to come in at 9:45-10pm after ARC festival had ended. Ambiance: it’s a American spot with tv of sports going on, very loud crowds, has a very modern style Location accommodation: This place has a lot of seating including outdoors, and also has a bar. There are 2 other locations as well that seem just as good as this one

“Cannot get over how good the hot honey soppressata pizza was!”
Cannot get over how good the hot honey soppressata pizza was!! Amazing! Got the large (16”) size for 2 people, but could easily be for 3 or 4 as we had leftovers. Enjoyed the loose goose and margarita on tap, tho I am curious why tap drinks are $14… Pro tip: they have a bus that takes you to events at the United center. Makes for a great option before Bulls or Blackhawks games.
